Operating Principle
Fulton FB-S three-pass/wet-back/horizontal steam boiler
The standard design for FB-S is a three-pass, wet-back with corrugated furnace. In the first pass, the flame and high temperature flue gas flow from the front to the back of the furnace; Through the second pass tubes, high temperature flue gas flow from the return chamber to the front chamber; In the third pass, the flue gas passes through the third pace tubes to the back of the boiler stack and then vents out.

Corrugated furnace and wet back design
FB-9 boiler’s large diameter corrugated furnace provides a generous heating surface for increased heat transfer and reduced heat flux. The corrugation also reinforces the strength of the combustion chamber, and increases the longevity of the pressure vessel due to a substantial reduction in thermal and mechanical fatigue caused by cyclic expansion and contraction. The wet-back design eliminates heavy refractory on rear door while increasing efficiency and reducing radiant loss.

Large Water Content
FB-S boiler’s large water content and steam chamber ensure low sensitivity to load change, and stability of steam pressure 6 steam quality. Combustion chamber located well below water level with generous clearance from bottom of boiler allowing proper simulation. Adequate space between combustion chamber and water level ensures high quality steam by minimizing carry over.

Well-insulated Front Gas Chamber
Gas chamber Is not a part of the pressure vessel, but plays an important role in boiler operation. Fulton utilizes the “air-insulation” design to reduce heat loss in the FB-S series boiler. The large furnace surface area also reduced furnace exit temperature via enhanced radiation and convection.

FB-C HORIZONTAL FIRETUBE STEAM BOILER (OPTIONAL-4 PASS)

Design Features

• FB-C boiler is a three-pass, wet-back, and corrugated furnace design boiler.
• Standard maximum working pressure of 145 Psi to 180 Psi (Other pressure is available upon to customer’s request.
• Optional 4 pass, wet-back, and corrugated furnace design boiler.
• Seamless tubes thicker than the competitors.
• Welded tubes avoid the problem of leaking caused by shipping normally seen in rolled tubes.
• Good load change tolerance, high efficiency.
• Low NOx emission
• Fuel: Natural Gas,LPG Gas , Light Fuel Oil & Dual fuel burners
• Capacity Range: 10352 lbs/hr – 55155 lbs/hr

Operating Principle
Fuel is injected from the burner into the combustion chamber and is ignited and burned. The combustion chamber constitutes the first past. Then a combustion turnaround section directs the flue gas to the second pass tubes. The turnaround section is water surrounded and thus called the “wet-back”. In the third pass, gases travel from the second pass tubes to the third pass tubes and finally exit out the stack.

4 Pass Design For Optimum Efficiency
Fulton FB-C boilers’ four pass design adds additional heating surface to the traditional three pass, which further enhances the heat exchange between the flue gas and boiler water. This four pass design plus the fully matched IC burner achieve the optimum efficiency for FB-C/FB-D boilers.

High Efficiency full modulation burner

• High turn-down ratio full modulation burner maintains boiler operation steady in the low load
• The turn-down ratio for gas-fired burner is 10:1 and for oil-fired burner is 8: 1.
• Full modulation burner minimizes boiler on-off cycle and pre-post purging, improves boiler efficiency.
• It also improves the control accuracy of boiler pressure and temperature

Advanced burner control system for safety and high efficiency
Fulton FB-C series burner control system has strong control, test and diagnose functions. The burner programmer monitors the burner ignition, operation and flame. It also works with water relay and pressure control to ensure the boiler safety.  FB-C boiler has flame failure; oil pump, water pump, and air motor overload protection, low water cut-off, and high pressure cut-off, high temperature cut off for hot water boiler and high-low gas pressure interlocks.

Wet-back and corrugated furnace design
Both 3 pass and 4 pass FB-C boilers all have the wet-back and corrugated furnace design feature. The corrugation of the furnace provides additional heat transfer surface.   It also reinforces the strength of the combustion chamber and increases the longevity of the pressure vessel. Corrugation greatly reduces the thermal and mechanical fatigue caused by cyclic expansion and contraction. Wet-back design eliminates the need for refractory lining, baffles, and gaskets and provides additional heating surface.

RB SERIES STEAM BOILER

Design Features

• RB- boiler is a three-pass and corrugated furnace design boiler.
• Standard maximum working pressure of 150 Psi to 185 Psi
  (Other pressure is available upon   to customer’s request.)
• Seamless tubes thicker than the competitors.
• Welded tubes avoid the problem of leaking caused by shipping normally seen in rolled tubes.
• Good load change tolerance, high efficiency.
• Low NOx emission
• Fuel: Natural Gas, LPG Gas, Light Fuel Oil & dual fuel burners 
• Capacity Range: 2204 lbs/hr – 11023 lbs/hr

Operating Principle and Structural Features
Fulton RB boiler is a wet-back horizontol boiler. Fuel is injected from the burner into the combustion chamber and is ignited and burned. The high temperature flue gas reverses back after reaching furnace end plate. Heat from the flue gas is passed to boiler water through convection and conduction. Then the flue gas flows into fire tubes through front chamber, transferring residual heat to boiler water. Finally the cooled low temperature flue gas vents into stack via rear chamber.

Large Furnace Volume, Large Furnace Surface Area, Better Combustion, Higher Efficiency
With large furnace volume and furnace heating surface, RB boiler has low combustion intensity, typically less than 1000 kw/m2. The large furnace and large furnace surface area also reduce furnace exit temperature via enhanced radiation and convection, front gas chamber condition is much better than regular reverse fire boiler, thus ensures front gas chamber durability.

Large Number Of Fire Tubes And Large Tube Total Cross-Sectional Area
With large tube total cross-sectional area, the resistance to gas flow is reduced, so the burner can be equipped with smaller motor to reduce power consumption.

Large Water Content, Low Sensitivity To Load Change
Large water content and steam chamber ensures low sensitivity to load change, and stability of steam pressure & steam quality.

Low NOx Emission
Fulton RB boiler adopts large furnace volume, reduces combustion intensity noticeably. Emission of NOx is limited to a quite low level, which comply with the latest European and North American’s environmental requirements.

Fulton manufactures a complete line of electric steam boiler from 12 kW to 2000 kW (1.2 to 200BHP) up to 300 PSI for heating and process applications.
Fulton’s vertical design is a full packaged boiler built to ASME specifications and applicable standards and codes. They are very efficient because the heating elements are totally immersed in water and the pressure vessel is fully insulated. Radiation losses are minimal. With a carefully calculated heat to steam ratio, operating pressures are achieved quickly with maximum efficiency. Electric boilers have no wasted fuel going out the stack as associated with fossil fuel, therefore, electric boilers are environmentally friendly. No NOx, (nitrogen oxides) are being transmitted to the atmosphere.

50 to 2000 kW elements mount vertically
Can be serviced and periodically maintained simply by unbolting the element(s) from the flanges in the top of the boiler’s “head”. Expansion and contraction of the top mounted elements cause scale to flake off and drop to the bottom of the boiler. Strategically located 3” x 4” handholes allow easy inspection and periodic clean-out maintenance.

Stainless steel heating elements
Fulton uses low watt density elements* made of stainless steel. Stainless will not melt or anneal as easily as copper elements. The small 12 to 36 kW boilers use horizontally mounted elements at the bottom.

Fulton can custom build completely piped 1and wired skid mounted units.
